Today is the last day for those who want to claim a state tax rebate for a special assessment charged on property insurance bills in Louisiana in 2008.

The annual assessment has been made since 2006 to pay off bonds issued to keep Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp. — the state's so-called insurer of last resort — solvent after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

State Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon says 52 percent of the $100 million in Citizens assessments for 2008 remains unclaimed.
